[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After you are engaged.

When you live together, you are less proactive about a marriage choice than you would be if you made the choice from a logistically simpler, independent place.  In other words, it becomes easier to marry than not - even if that easier choice is the wrong one for you.

I agree with this, not living together until engaged (and for us, about 6 weeks before the wedding) was the right step for me. I'm a liberal atheist, but it just made sense to me and I didn't want the logistical headaches of breaking up if we lived together. Marriage was important to me though and I wouldn't have been happy co-habitating for years on end.

Now that I've been married a few years, I still feel like it was a good choice. [/quote]
